Bahrain has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to formalise bilateral relations between the two organisations.

The agreement was signed by FCC’s Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel and TRA’s General Director Philip Marnick on the sidelines of the ITU Global Symposium for Regulators (GSR-23).

The MoU will increase coordination between the TRA and FCC, enabling discussions and the exchange of best practices on issues such as fifth-generation technologies (5G), spectrum licensing, broadband deployment, accessible and inclusive communications, robocalls, and secure networks.

The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA), representing Bahrain, also participated in the Head of Regulators roundtable discussion at GSR-23.

TRA General Director, Philip Marnick, showcased Bahrain’s leading position in telecommunications and held bilateral meetings with international telecommunications regulators and ITU officials.

General Director of TRA, Philip Marnick, stated: “In our ever increasingly interconnected world it is important for regulators to collaborate, to share ideas and best practices and work together to enhance protection for consumers.

The collaboration will also support our efforts to further enhance services in Bahrain.
